Fascinating Fact:

Two octopuses have 8 arms each, so 2 × 8 = 16 arms. Count in eights, 8, 16.

In KS1 Maths, the 8 times table helps children multiply by making equal groups of eight and counting in steps of 8. It can also be worked out by doubling three times, which supports strong mental maths.

  • Count in eights: Adding 8 each time, like 8, 16, 24, 32.
  • Double: To add a number to itself, like 9 + 9 = 18.
  • Mental maths: Solving number questions in your head without writing them down.
What is the 8 times table?

The 8 times table is the set of multiplication facts for 8, such as 3 × 8 = 24 and 6 × 8 = 48, and it goes up by 8 each time.

How do you work out 8 times table facts using doubling?

You can double three times, because × 8 is the same as × 2, then × 2, then × 2 again, for example 5 becomes 10, then 20, then 40.

How can I practise the 8 times table at home?

Say the eights sequence aloud, use quick flashcards, and make groups of 8 with small objects like counters to check totals and build confidence.
